water and dreams, 2023
4 hour durational participatory performance, 500 lbs raw clay, quilted duck canvas, linen, water
Staged over the course of four hours, water and dreams was a grief choreography commissioned by Craft Contemporary. Working with themes of in/visibility, integration, and sensual becoming-with, this piece invited viewers into physical encounter with a 500 pound sculptural monument of raw clay. The clay sits atop a canvas ground hand-quilted from the scraps of canvas that had been made to create a nearby set of soft sculptures that spell out the sentence, “where there is sorrow, there is holy ground.”
